Richard Birney has served on the Inheritance of Hope (IoH) Board of Directors for over five years. He has been an integral part of the organization for even longer.

Richard and his wife Peggy first met IoH founders Deric and Kristen Milligan in the pews of Fishkill Baptist Church. Richard remembers, “They sat on the row in front of us. I could tell they were both nice and we invited them to lunch. That started the whole thing. And it’s still all about relationships.”
